Welp. This just in. The middle weight fight is still going to continue.

If the champ wins, he vacates the title. if the challenger wins, he's the champ.

This dude Halsey is waay too big for middleweight

No fukking way. wtf. He was the first dude in MMA to break his leg like Silva. He recovered and continued fighting. Dude went through so much hardship. He was on TUF and seemed like such a cool cat. RIP damn.

edit: reports are false, he's still alive, he's in the hospital, still fighting, but still alive. Dude is a warrior I think he still has one more fight in him. I hope he makes it.
